EXT2ED(8)

NAME
       ext2ed - ext2 file system editor

SYNOPSIS
       ext2ed

DESCRIPTION
       ext2ed  in  an  editor for the second extended filesystem.
       Its aim is to show you  the  various  internal  filesystem
       structures  in an intuitive form so that you would be able
       to easily understand and modify them.

DOCUMENTATION
       The documentation is not available  in  man  page  format.
       Instead,  I  have written three articles which are related
       to ext2ed:

       The first article  is  The  user's  guide.   This  article
       explains how to use ext2ed.

       The  second  article is The Ext2fs overview.  This article
       gives an  overview  of  internal  structure  of  the  ext2
       filesystem.  You need to understand the internal layout in
       order to effectively edit your filesystem.

       The third article is EXT2ED - Design  and  implementation.
       This  article  explains  how I constructed ext2ed. You may
       want to have a look in it if you plan to  view  or  modify
       the source code.

WARNING
       Do not use ext2ed on a mounted filesystem.
